Eeeeeeh. Not really! Add 3,000+ lbs, 10 times the frontal area, and a whole bunch more tire "contact patch" to his crotch rocket and see how quick he goes relative to Ray or?! :lol

But, 200+ on a crotch rocket???:eek Noooooooooo thank yew! Just the thought of a BLOWOUT or a major mech failure at that speed ON 2 WHEELS gives me a terminal case of the gallopin' klangs...:willy:willy:willy 'Not sure if the kid is courageous or crazy. Mebbe both...?

I'm with you on this EP. Trying to reach 200 in my FGT is a far as I will go. On a motorcycle, not at my age. Now, if given a chance to do so when I was 16, I probably would have given it a try and might not be around to type this post.

You should see Bob Bondurant drive at his age. I heard he's getting married again too.

Bondurant's new fiance - this will be his 9th or 10th marriage. At the Legends of Riverside on March 27, 2010. He took a lot of ribbing about it !

LOL,

Did anyone notice he is racing a snow mobile in the other lane! Where in the hell is this track?

For Bob Bondurant fans here's an interesting picture taken in 1964 at Green Valley SCCA race in Dallas as he checks out our 289 Cobra for suspension set up. Carroll once told me " We used Bob for bait during races as there were always a lot of girls around him at every race and he was younger than all of us", and it worked. I can see he still attracts pretty women! Tomy Hamon

I don't feel like I am lacking in nerve......but 200+ on two wheels.......uhhhhh NO WAY!!!

Now in the sky or the GT, no problem.....especially after TT install. :lol

I believe Liz Taylor's been married 9 times as well.

Mebbe Mr. Bondurant is competing for the "#1" spot on THAT podium, too! :biggrin :cheers
